But it has now been proven by researchers at the University of Michigan that walking in nature makes you smarter. They compared taking walks in urban and natural environments and found a statistically significant difference. I heard this on the radio this morning and when I left for lunch time walk in happy valley I told Lisa I was going for a smart walk.
I am not sure it made me smarter but it did improve my alertness for the afternoon.The evening was spent at the side of the soccer pitch for the season opener. Team Ireland, Deborah's team won 11-2.
I guess you can see I was doing a little embroidery while I watched the action.

well I don't know how you managed to stitch WHILE watching the game, but you manage apparently, it must be your walk in the woods. I agree totally with the researchers of the University of Michigan. That's why we do our best to get out of town when it's possible.
Good luck for your day at work. xoxoxo hugs

Maybe this is a animalic kind of thing, a leftover from our times when we lived in caves and had to hunt for food. Hunting needs much more intelligence then going into a supermarket and buy a steak. ;-)
Like your embroidered eagle in the pic and YAY for Team Ireland!

Love your woodland path - and I am most impressed that you managed to stitch at all while watching the game!

That's why you're so very, very smart. Yay for Deborah too! I really like that big bag of happiness that you brought to the soccer match with you.
